10. Optical Drive
10.1. Inserting a Disc
Unlike optical drives on a desktop PC, the Notebook uses a mount to hold the disc.
When inserting the disc ensure that it is pressed into the mount correctly and that
it clicks into position there.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not stick protective film or other adhesive labels to
the disc. To prevent damage to your drive, do not use any
deformed or damaged discs.
CAUTION!
Do not use scratched, broken, dirty or poor quality discs.
The high speeds in the drive can cause these to break
destroying your data and damaging your device. Inspect
discs carefully before inserting them. If damage or dirt
is visible, do not use the disc. Damage caused by faulty
media is not covered under warranty and repairs will be
chargeable. Incorrectly positioning the disc in the mount
can cause it to be damaged when closing the drive drawer.
 With the device switched on, press the eject button on the optical drive to open
the drawer.
 Carefully pull the drawer out fully.
 Remove the disc from its case, where possible without touching the unprinted
side.
 Insert the disc into the drawer with the label up and carefully press it down. The
disc now lies flat in the drawer and audibly clicks onto the disc mount.
 Check that the disc can turn freely and then carefully slide the drawer back into
the optical drive until it clicks into place.
On delivery, your optical drive is assigned the drive letter “E”. You can easily
access the data on your discs using Windows Explorer (Computer). Run
Windows Explorer using the shortcut on the taskbar or by simultaneously
pressing the Windows key and the “E” key. When accessing DVD videos (or audio
and video files on conventional data CDs), the preinstalled media player is used
automatically.
 If you wish to remove a disc, press the eject button.
